This package (any version) is not available for i386 in F29. In particular, this makes the MATE desktop uninstallable on i386:

  - nothing provides openvswitch needed by NetworkManager-ovs-1:1.12.4-1.fc29.i686

It was not included in the Koji build for openvswitch-2.9.2-6.fc29 or for openvswitch-2.10.0-1.fc29. Is this intentional?

openvswitch-2.10.0-2.fc29 has been pushed to the Fedora 29 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

There is some dependency problem in F29 after this was pushed to stable, I'm not sure what's going on. If people with updates-testing enabled don't see this, there must be another u-t package that needs to go to stable.

The problem was that, in the meanwhile, unbound-libs was updated to 1.8.0 (with soname 8), but openvswitch was built with the old unbound-libs (with soname 2).

The strange thing is that the previous version of OVS (openvswitch-2.10.0-1.fc29) was build with the new unbound-libs (with soname 8) instead.

I launched a new build of OVS and I checked that it's using the correct unbound-libs version.
